Hello Friends

My uncle bought this laptop

Dell Inspiron Plus 16" Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 9 185H - 1920 x 1200 - Windows 11 - 32GB RAM - 2TB SSD

Even when the laptop itself has the classic Power Jack (the cylinder) the Laptop Charger is USB Type C.

Therefore

Laptop Charger -----> (USB Type C) Laptop Yes
Laptop Charger -----> (Power Jack) Laptop No

The laptop charger has the following data

Dell 100.0w AC Adapter
Dell Output 5.0v --- 3.0A/15.0W,
9.0v --- 3.0A/27.0w,
15.0v --- 3.0A/45.0w,
20.0v --- 5.0A/100.0w or
12.0-20.0v---5.0A max./100w max
INPUT 100-240v~1.7A 50-60Hz
Model No Dell LA100PM220

Thus practically is this one:

Dell Laptop Charger 100W Watt USB Type C Thunderbolt 3 AC Power Adapter DA100PM220 LA100PM220 HA100PM220

Because I am not an expert: we are assuming the Laptop must receive from the Charger 100W (Correct me if we are wrong)

Now, the reason of this post. Because my uncle needs the USB-C port free for other uses exists the option to buy this Docking

USB C Docking Station Dual HDMI Monitor,USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter with 2 HDMI Ports,PD Charging,SD/TF,USB A&C 3.0 Ports,USB C Hub HDMI for Dell XPS/HP/Lenovo/Surface/Yoga etc

It has a lot of buys and a well amount of nice customer reviews

The main concern and reason of this post

Question;
  • Does really the Docking give as output 100w?

First: If you see the 5th Figure of the Docking link, theoretically applies the following sequence:

Dell Laptop Charger (100w) ----> Docking (100w) ----> Laptop

Thus theoretically is safe buy the docking to be used for the laptop

Second: but in the Docking link indicates:

  • [Speedy charging 100W] This dual hdmi adapter for 2 monitors with a USB-C power delivery port(near the SD/TF) can charge your laptop anytime; hdmi hub for multiple monitors input 100W, output 87W. Please Note: Power charger & charging cable is not included in the package. Note:The second USB C port is only for data transfer.

As you can see it does mention of 87w. So is confuse if the output is 100w or 87w

Third: About the italic part, there fits the original Dell Laptop Charger
Fourth: the other reason to buy this docking is use in parallel 2 Monitors through HDMI

Therefore the expected functions and goals by the Docking are:

  1. Serve as a bridge between the Dell Laptop Charger to the Laptop to deliver 100w as output
  2. Connect 2 HDMI monitors at the same time

But we need an explicit confirmation for the first point

Thanks for your understanding
